Time is money. In the logistics industry, this is even more important because guaranteed delivery times must be met and smooth scheduling ensured. Route optimization is therefore of particular importance. Shorter, optimized routes enable significantly higher productivity on the one hand and lower fleet costs (fuel, wear, and tear) on the other.

Especially when numerous destinations have to be approached, optimal route planning is no longer intuitive for employees, or requires an enormous expenditure of time, resulting in a lack of time for other work. We dedicated ourselves to this topic in order to realize a solution that automatically creates an optimized route from a disordered list of addresses. Of course the solution had to be designed in such a way that it could be tailored to the individual needs of our customers at any time.
With N4 Route we created to which one can submit a list of addresses and then automatically optimize them in the shortest possible time. These addresses can be easily exported from an existing merchandise management or warehouse management system. Even address lists, which are available as conventional Excel tables, can serve as input. Of course, in addition to the pure address data, it is also possible to transfer any other parameters, such as tour name, tour line number, order number, delivery note number or free text fields for comments, which are then assigned to the respective delivery. JSON or any other common data exchange format can be used for this purpose. N4 Route returns the optimized route including the necessary features and creates a link for displaying it, e.g. a Google Maps link. This way, delivery times and distances are reduced drastically in many cases.
we solved it.
